RAR: #38: BLACK CROW

From CAPTAIN AMERICA #292 (1988) comes Jesse Black Crow, a paralyzed Amerindian guy who uses Indian magic to become a superhero named-- well, he's still Black Crow, he just drops his first name. In his first appearance he decides that the "Earth Spirit" he venerates requires some great act of vengeance for the sufferings of all Native Americans. Therefore he decides to sacrifice Captain .America's life in retaliation for the sufferings of his people.

Cap fights back for a while, and then decides that Black Crow represents some fundamental justice, so he surrenders. Happily, Black Crow changes his mind and lets the Avenger live. The Crow flew a few more times since then but he hasn't exactly inspired many raconteurs to revive him.

Frankly, while the character's conception is a step up from badly demonized types like Great Warrior or the Waquo Indians, Black Crow seems just about as simplistic and unimaginative, however more politically fitting.

MONSTER MASHUPS #38

Just reviewed the mash-film STAN HELSING, which is notable for using only monsters from the seventies and eighties instead of the Classics from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Though the film's raunchy tone is leagues away from the tame humor of 2000's MONSTER MASH, the two films share one thing in common: a quick wrapup in which the good guys overcome the bad guys with barely any trouble at all, despite a buildup to some more epic conclusion. I assume budget concerns motivated both films in this area.

RAR: #37: CHIEF GRAY MATTER

I found this joke-page in LASH LARUE #1. It's of slight interest that "Chief Gray Matter," though he speaks in dialect, shows some wit and is certainly not the "butt" of the joke.

MONSTER MASHUPS #37

Though my review of MAD MONSTER PARTY is a bit ambivalent, it still beats out most of the monster-mash comedies, with the obvious exception of ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN.
